Steps

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) degrees. Butter a 21 cm (8,3 or 9 inch) round cake pan. Line with parchment, and butter.

  5. 5 Whisk flour, salt, cinnamon, and remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa in a bowl. Beat butter and dark-brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy.

  7. 7 Beat in chocolate and chopped dates.
  8. 8 Transfer batter to prepared pan, and smooth top.
